A. S. Ørsted (1798-1860) | 5. Repræsentanterne for 'Det Bestaaende' Representatives of 'The Establishment' |
"See engang - Ministeren for Cultus er mig hengiven," skriver Kierkegaard i 1854. A. S. Ørsted hørte til den lille kreds af Kierkegaards spadserevenner fra de sene år og modtog såvel Afsluttende uvidenskabelig Efterskrift som Sygdommen til Døden med højt svungne dedikationer fra de pseudonyme værkers litterære bagmand. Den senere så berømte broder, H. C. Ørsted, krydsede også Kierkegaards vej. Som universitets rektor var han impliceret i bedømmelsen af magisterafhandlingen Om Begrebet Ironi, hvorom han tørt bemærkede, at den "gjør et overveiende ubehageligt Indtryk paa mig, især ved to Ting som jeg begge hader, Vidtløftighed og Kunstlerie". | "Look at that - the Minister of Culture is devoted to me," Kierkegaard wrote in 1854. A. S. Ørsted belonged to the small circle of Kierkegaard's walking friends from the last years, and he received both Afsluttende uvidenskabelig Efterskrift [Concluding Unscientific Postscript] and Sygdommen til Døden [The Sickness Unto Death] with ornate dedications from the pseudononymous works' literary backer. His later so famous brother, H. C. Ørsted, also crossed Kierkegaard's path. As the rector of the university he was involved in passing judgement on his thesis Om begrebet Ironi [The Concept of Irony], about which he drily remarked that it "makes a generally unpleasant impression on me, particularly because of two things, both of which I detest: verbosity and affectation." |
